Hernandez-Delgado Assistant: Mr. Manuel Rimarachin Date: September, 2001 Revised: May, 2005 March, 2011 3 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH James Michael Kieran, the son of Michael and Catherine (Lynch) Kieran was born on August 23 1863, in New York City. He was educated in the primary and secondary schools in New York City. As an alum of Public School 32 Kieran had maintained a lifelong interest in the school’s affairs. His presence was so influential that a unanimous resolution was passed by the alumni association changing the name of Public School 32 from the William Wood Grammar School to the James Michael Kieran Grammar School. Kieran received an A.B. from the College of the City of New York in 1882, and subsequently obtained an A.M. from St. Francis Xavier in 1887. He later pursued additional graduate studies at Columbia University and Fordham University where he acquired an L.L.D. in1905 from the latter institution. Kieran’s teaching career was spent entirely in New York City. He taught public schools from 1883- 1904, attaining the rank of Principal in 1900. He came to the Normal College of the City of New York (renamed Hunter College in 1914) in 1904, and was appointed professor of philosophy and education. He developed a course of study in education which was later copied by other educational institutions. Kieran was instrumental in organizing and directing the Department of Education, and took delight in being able to apply the theoretical methods of pedagogy. He served as Dean of the College from 1927-1928, acting president in 1928, and was inaugurated as the third president of Hunter College in 1929. By 1929, Hunter College had become the largest municipal women’s college in the United States. President Kieran inherited an institution with a teaching staff of 894 members, and with a student body of 22,000. He also spearheaded the task of expanding the physical plant of the College. Enrollment at Hunter College had increased so significantly that annexes were opened to accommodate the overflow of incoming freshmen. In 1927, the City fathers assigned a thirty acre site in the Bronx for the construction of newer facilities. Construction of the new campus began in 1929, with the completion of Gillet Hall in 1931; Davis Hall, Student Hall, and the power plant were completed in February 1932; the Gymnasium was completed later in the year. In September 1933, President Kieran announced his retirement from Hunter College to devote his last years to literary studies of the 13th and 14th Centuries. He asserted that he would turn to literary life and travel and, as he put it “…absorb more knowledge.” When his associates urged him to stay he replied: “I think I’ve done all I can up there, and I don’t want to die in harness. I want to have a little fun, and I am going to study and do a little writing.” Upon retiring from Hunter College Kieran decided to live with his son Leo and entertain travel options. In his latter years his doctor warned him to give up some of his activities due to his poor health. James Michael Kieran had a long and distinguished career as an educator and academician. In his fifty years of teaching he won the admiration and respect of his former pupils. He assisted in establishing the system of general teaching appointments and supervision from an eligibility list. He labored to increase salaries and enhance tenure for New York City teachers. He revised the Hunter 4 College curriculum and established a Department of Education of collegiate rank at a time when the usual teacher training courses were low in standards. Aside from his professional career Kieran also maintained an active private life. He married Kate Donahue in 1890, and subsequently fathered seven children. Miss Donahue graduated from the Normal College in 1881. At the time of her death in 1931, she was one of the oldest living alums of the College. Life as an educator and husband/father weren’t enough to daunt his interest in educational issues and events. In his younger days he was known as “Fighting Jimmy” Kieran. He was the organizer and the first president of Catholic clubs in non-Catholic colleges. He was a member of the American Association of College Professors and the Association of College Professors of Education and the Catholic Writers Guild. At the time of his death, he was a trustee of the Academy of Public Education of New York City. Kieran remained current and youthful in spirit and mind throughout his life. Three years before his wife’s death, Mr. and Mrs. Kieran won first prize in a dancing contest aboard a cruise ship. Kieran left an indelible imprint on the people he touched and the students he taught. His wife once summed up his life by saying that “Dr. Kieran is like a happy country; neither has any history.” James Michael Kieran, President Emeritus of Hunter College died of a stroke and complications on April 25, 1936, in his home at 575 Park Avenue. He was 72 years old. Dr. Kieran had sufficiently recovered from a slight illness about six weeks before his death to join a son on vacation. He had just returned from the vacation trip when he was stricken with his final illness. Manuel Rimarachin Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado 5 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The President James Michael Kieran Collection reflects an important era in the evolution and physical expansion of Hunter College. The records relate primarily to Dr. Kieran’s tenure as president of Hunter College and his private life from 1927 to 1933. The bulk of the collection documents the inauguration of James Michael Kieran as the third president of Hunter College on March 26, 1929. Inaugural addresses, correspondence, and newspaper articles highlight this historic event. One key component of the collection consists of the Report of the Evening and Extension Sessions of Hunter College from February 1930 to January 1934. The reports provide an array of monthly and yearly statistics that document the number of matriculated and non-matriculated students, residence of students, course enrollments, degrees held by instructors and courses taught, etc. Another important part of the collection are the records that document the planning and construction of Hunter College in the Bronx (a.k.a. the Bronx Campus) from 1927 to 1933. The documents in these folders are an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to trace the legal and logistical construction of the Bronx Campus. Researchers can examine resolutions, preliminary reports, blueprints, contracts, committee minutes, and correspondence that were associated with this building project. Hunter College in the Bronx remained part of Hunter College until 1968 when it became a separate institution of higher learning and was renamed Lehman College. 6 SERIES DESCRIPTION Series I – Inauguration Series I documents the inauguration of James Michael Kieran as the third president of Hunter College. Included in this series is biographical information, addresses, correspondence of the Inauguration Committee, list of guests, the inauguration program, felicitation letters, and newspaper articles and clippings. The files are arranged alphabetically. Series II – Administration Series II consists of an array of addresses, correspondence, and reports. Key files in this series include the Reports of the Evening and Extension Sessions and the plans for the construction of Hunter College in the Bronx (aka Bronx Campus) from 1927 through 1932. 7 CONTAINER LIST SERIES I - INAUGURATION Box Folder Contents 1 1 Biographical Information Inauguration Committee 2 Correspondence, 1928-1929 3 Report on the Inauguration of James Michael Kieran as the Third President of Hunter College…, November 15, 1929 4 Inauguration Program, March 26, 1929 5 “Inauguration of Dr. James M.
